A worker pushes bananas along a packing line at a banana plantation operated by a Chinese company in the province of Bokeo in Laos April 24, 2017. The banana boom pre-dated the concept, which was announced in 2013, although China now regards agricultural developments in Laos as among the initiative's projects. REUTERS/Jorge Silva
